EspañolWhen choosing a cylinder block mold, it is important to know which cores are required. Different molds contain different types of cores, including cylinder, bore liners, water jacket slab cores, and integral barrel-crankcase cores. If possible, look for a mold package with a wide variety of cores.
Cylinder block mold packages typically include the base core and the cover core. The cylinder block mold package has an integral barrel crankcase core, which is formed by a set core in the chill assembly. The final mold package includes the base core and the cover core. When all the cores are assembled, the mold package is cleaned using high-pressure air.
The cylinder block is the most important casting on an engine. The wall thickness of a cylinder block is usually under three millimeters. The most commonly used material for cylinder block manufacturing is wet clay sand. It has excellent forming properties and low energy and noise profiles. The cylinder block is usually manufactured using either air-punching molding lines or static pressure molding machines.
The base core of a cylinder block mold may have several joints. The sand may be abraded or lodged in these areas during assembly and handling. This loose sand can contaminate the casting. The individual cores of a mold package may also have a base core with small spaces.
A typical engine cylinder block mold package has a base core, side cores, and a crankcase core. The base core is placed on a surface and separate cores are stacked on top of it. In some cases, additional cores are present, such as the oil gallery core, the crankcase core, and the valley core.
The base core of a cylinder block mold includes a vent window core. The shoulder is the key to the final shape of the window that extends from the cylinder block. The main body has a substantially planar lower surface, while the shoulder is disposed at an angle with the lower surface.
The riser chill is a difficult part of a mold to remove after it has solidified. Moreover, the riser chill is usually trapped in the runner or risering system, which affects the heat treatment process. To prevent this problem, many foundries prefer to keep the riser chills slightly warm before inserting them into the casting.
